Eye Findings in Dermatologic Conditions
As part of our commitment to resident education, Cutis is excited to offer this monthly section with board-relevant, easy-to-review material.
This month’s fact sheet will review ophthalmologic findings associated with inherited dermatologic conditions. A brief definition or description of the ophthalmologic finding is provided for the target audience who may not be familiar with these terms. This table is not meant to serve as an exhaustive list of all dermatologic conditions with associated ophthalmologic findings but rather a list of high-yield associations for board study and beyond.
